HELLO FROM GERMANY! I DRIVE THE SKODA ENYAQ FOR THE FIRST TIME - THE NICER VW ID.4

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Enyaq iV 80x Sportline, reviewed here in Germany, is presented as a more premium and visually appealing alternative to the VW ID.4, despite being built on the same MEB platform. The reviewer highlights its attractive design, particularly from the rear, and praises the interior for its higher quality materials, aggressive sculpting of the sport seats, and more conventional, user-friendly layout compared to the ID.4. Key positives include the spaciousness, the optional crystal lighting (matrix LEDs), and clever packaging features like an umbrella holder and a removable trash bin. However, the reviewer notes that the infotainment software, while skinned differently, is the same as the ID.4's and can be sluggish. A significant drawback is the limited top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph), which is lower than some other MEB-based vehicles. The reviewer also points out the lack of a front trunk and the somewhat disappointing brake pedal feel, though the chassis is described as well-engineered. Despite its higher price point than the ID.4 and the fact it's not coming to the US, the Enyaq is considered by both the reviewer and a local owner to be the best car on the MEB platform, offering a superior experience to the Audi Q4 e-tron and VW ID.4.
